I may be biased about these two because this is my cousin Darin, and he just happened to marry one of my bosom buddies.

Favorite thing to do together
G // We love to see and play live music together
D //  Favorite thing to do together (hobby or date) ? We like playing music together in our band Finnegan. Ginny plays the flute and I play the bass. But our favorite thing to do together, if we our being completely honest, is probably going out to eat and getting a nice steak and some cocktails. It rarely happens though. It's the cost of being parents to a 1YR old

How did y'all meet?
G // Darin and I have been together for over 6 years, married almost 5 years.
We met at Cafe Brasil, but our love blossomed over both of us being in Jacob and Brandi's wedding.
D // We will have been married for 5 YRs now. The first time we met was at a coffee bar/cafe called Brasil. I was working there and Ginny walked in. Little did I know she was friends with my cousin Brandi, who walked in shortly after. She was so strikingly beautiful that I had to talk to her. Soon I realized she was going to be in my cousins wedding as a bridesmaid and I as a groomsmen. I convinced my cousin to pair us together and the rest is history. She lived in Austin and I was working in Baton Rouge, LA. We would drive to Houston to meet in the middle every weekend. We married shortly after that and moved to Houston. It was the second time we walked down the aisle together. 

Favorite thing about your other half
G // My favorite thing about Darin is that I can be completely ridiculously stupid around him but he somehow gets my humor? I was always afraid that the man I would marry would think I was just nutty nuts.
D //  My favorite thing about Ginny would have to be her off the wall since of humor. A pretty girl with a sense of humor is hard to find. We crack each other up all the time with no actual joke being said. It's kismet. 

Favorite place to shop
G // Madewell, American Apparel, H&M…. the usuals…. wish I could think of something unique! I'm a pretty basic dresser
D // I don't really have a favorite place. I don't shop for clothes. If I'm out and I see something I like, I buy it. But if I had to choose a place, it would be Stag from Austin, TX. They are like a one stop shop if you want to look like Don Drapper. But it's expensive and in Austin. 

Currently Jammin'
G // I love to listen to classic music. As in Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald etc. I do love me some Abba too :)  
D //  For modern stuff, Queens of the Stone Age - Like Clockwork is on repeat as well as a lot of Dead Meadow live albums. For old school stuff, Band of Gypsies - Live at the Filmore and David Bowie - Man Who Sold the World. Those are the albums that are currently being spun in my car. 

Guilty Pleasure
G // That would have to be sharing a few drinks with my husband and friends. We love going to outdoor patio bars where sydney can run around and we can enjoy libations!
D // HAIM and Miller Lite. 


Tell us fact we don't know about you two. funny or serious
G // I still like to wear my wedding dress around the house.
D // I play in a rock n roll band called Fire Moth. Ginny and I got married 6 months after dating.
